Doreen.

The 1881 census I gave has William Sraddon 1845 Dawlish.occ railway guard. Living in the correct area for his marriage.
His name is obviously mistranscribed but you need to check the census image to see that.

Lara . why are you looking for my g grandfather

Hi Jan
now realize how you do this .

Qinsgran has given grandad but not his father which is the one we are looking for. or rather his wife Staddons all done back as far paper records allow.

His wife. Susannah RIDGLEY married 25/12/1881. Poplar Father James Ridgley Railway worker.Bothe parents died when grandad was young , but Susannah I find untracable.

1901 census.
William J Staddon 1883 Bow London occ railway porter

1901 census
William Staddon 1845 Luccombe Somerset occ railway guard

1881 census
William Sraddon 1845 Dawlish Devon occ railway guard
boarding with a Cheney family

address 7 Reeves Rd Bromley St Leonard.
Reg district Poplar

They all work on the railway

Linda and Janet
Thank you....sorry my computer turned itself iff and wouldn't turn back on again!
Yes,I have the marriage cert. His father is named as Wm Staddon and place of birth is Dawlish.
His birth says MMN is Battin so I found them all on IGI.All in Dawlish Devon.
Not found any trace of him in 1881 (for definite)
Maybe he is one of the ones you found and perhaps widowed/divorced???by time of marriage to Susannah.But why say he is a bachelor?
Also,as I said,can't see him at all in 1891,but he doesn't seem to have died until the following year.
Why do I always get the horrible ones?

This would seem to fit?

Here is the marriage:

Marriages Dec 1881 (>99%)

RIDGELEY Susannah Poplar 1c 1209
STADDON William Poplar 1c 1209

How inconsiderate of them to marry after the 1881 census! I've been looking for William too,very elusive.
Can I ask how you have his mother's name?

As he was a railway guard, he could turn up anywhere really - we have some railway workers and they can be a bit of a nightmare.

Jan

And on that note I can't find the marriage at all in 1881, do you have a copy of the cert?

Regards Linda :)

aha a spelling error on my part!!

Linda Thanks again..
I am wondering whether he could have been married beofe coming to London..
On his marriage he claims to be single,but you never know!
He was rather old for a first marriage in those days.

Ah well this one is a paper maker!
